Top 10 Saddest Death Note Deaths

The Top Ten

1Death of L

Well OF COURSE L's would be the saddest. He's my favourite character! And I don't like Death Note as much as I used to before L's death. Naomi's death is the second for me. - Goku02

L was such an inspiring and amazing character, and many fans agree with me too. He was intelligent and cunning, and always knew the rival's moves which lead him to reach closer and closer to solving the mystery. It broke my heart when he fell off the chair, and Light ran to save him, as his blank eyes actually showed some emotion in them before they glazed over.

He died to save humanity. He was a good guy, and good guys never deserve to die. He also was honestly the best character, after his death, the story line became stupid because it was just about Light's success at being 'L two'

It's terrible because I feel that when he was dying, he finally realized what he'd done wrong and that he shouldn't have killed L, who was actually his best (and only) friend.

I cried for days after watching him die. He realized he f-ed up, and then dies in the claws (hands? I don't know) of ryuk and Near on the staircase representing that he can not go to heaven or hell, as he is in the middle of the stairs. Light is by far the character I cried for the longest time for in death note.

I felt like some part of me new this was going to happen but I hoped and hoped that I would not but unfortunately it did I could not stand light after this

That is when I started to hate Light Yagami. - Arcxia

4Death of Soichiro Yagami

It's sad because he died a proud father. Proud of his son. But it turns out that Light is in fact Kira. A father's dream is dead.

Bro, this was super duper sad. Even if Light said he would kill anyone to get his goal achieved, deep down he did care for his dad, L, etc.

5Death of Raye Penber

6Death of Mello

I hate Takada so much

L’s was the saddest one in my opinion but Mello should by higher up! I thought Mello’s death was one of the sadder ones! It was sadder then Naomi Misora. This should be at least number three.

(eats chocolate on the outside and says that 'Geez, he had small screen time anyway. Girly-head with a chocolate bar, who the hell adds a fashion reject? Stupid! )

(But deep inside I'm about to murder THAT BITCHWHORE ASSFACE TAKADA FOR KILLING MELLO-SENPAI WHY DID THAT SON OF A BITCH HAVE TO DIE THAT AWESOME BADASS SHOULD'VE BEATEN NEAR AND THAT JESUS-CHRIST-WANNABE WHOSE LAST NAME IS IMAGAY)

(Dies inside after watching Mello's death)

7Death of Watari

8Death of Rem

Killed by love, probably the saddest death in any anime.

9Death of Misa

You call it saddest! for me it's the happiest death of death note! - zxm

She most likely committed suicide after death of light - zxm

I want this so bad - Sassy13crown

She was my favorite character :'(

10Death of Takada Kiyomi

The Contenders

11Death of Hirokasu

12Death of Aiber

He died in front of his son whos like 7 or something

13Death of Matt

Matt's death showed us the significance of Kira. Mindlessly killed for a dumb reason. By far the most heartbreaking part of the entire show.

14Death of Near (alternative)

All though I didn't really care about Near, and thought he's just a recreation of L with white hair, it is decently sad anyways.

15Death of Mikami

16Soichiro Yagami

He in my opinion was a great model of a dad, and all Light wanted him to do in he last moments was to write of Mellow...
